Online outrage...

The online outrage suffered by Google a few days ago doesn't seem to have gone away. Is it me or are things still as slow today as they were at the end of last week? The services aren't down but they're frustratingly slow. Is this a sign of the times? What the future holds? Google sneezes and the world catches a cold...this type of 'traffic control' incident added to the 'fact' that "Demand for Internet bandwidth is growing so rapidly that connectivity will suffer starting as early as next year"...and added to that in places like the UK with "Bandwidth-throttling conspiracy theorists" in the iGIZMO tech news I may find myself having to get the Scrabble, Risk and Monopoly out a bit more. Or I suppose I could read a book ;-)

You should try dealing with HMRC - their computer goes down every other day. The Interweb has been slower the last few days though.

Try Escalado - the horse racing game - you need a decent size table though. Great for parting small children (or even big children) and their loose change.

There's also Perudo (liar dice) very good for large numbers...
